Tee hee hee

This guy just totally rules.

A couple of years ago I was actively producing videos on URTV, the community television station for Asheville, NC. I had the opportunity to meet many wonderful people along the way. One of them was the Rev. Johnny Lemuria, producer of Pleasure Saucer, a racey late night tv show.
Two years ago, Johnny interviewed me for his show and I'm taking the liberty to post it now, though I hope I don't regret doing so.
Check out the interview here. (Watching the un-synched audio in the second half of the interview is a trip, if you can make it that far.)

Johnny is still producing Pleasure Saucer as well as a Vortex Cabaret which happens every Thursday night at 11 Grove Street. He is a tremendously fascinating and beautiful soul, who brings love to late-night URTV viewers every week.

Trailer for Maria Voisin video

Friends, my latest video "The 48 Hour Dance Project" is nearing completion and will air on URTV next week. The video follows local Latin dance choreographer Maria Voisin and 5 dancers as they rush to complete a dance piece in 48 hours. I will be screening a rough version of it at Bobo's Gallery and Wine Bar on Lexington Ave. in downtown Asheville on Tuesday April 28th at 9:00. Following the video will be a live performance by Voisin's all women's dance group, Dulcinea

Benefit for Michael Folliett

The rods in this poster were put into Michael's neck.

My friend Michael Folliett crashed his bike and broke lots of parts in his body a couple of months ago. Don't worry, he's gonna be fine, but his health care costs are through the roof. This Sunday night there will be a benefit to offset some of the expenses incurred by the incident. The goal is $500 - so he can start by paying off the bill for the ambulance. (!!!!)
The event will happen at Tressa's. I'm excited about this because I've never hung out there and I've lived in this town for almost six years. There will be live music and a silent auction. (I'm donating a painting.)
Michael Folliett taught me how to use Final Cut Pro, so I owe all my video editing expertise to him. He also teaches at ABTech and produces a show called The Wallpaper Project for URTV Asheville. A few years ago he was awarded a grant from the Media Arts Project to develop a youth education program in media content analysis and media production.
For more information about this event, or to donate something please call: 828-230-4793
The night begins at 8:00pm.
There is a suggested donation of $7 (go on, just give $10, what the heck.)
Tressa's is located at 28 Broadway.

URTV is the public access community television station in Asheville, NC and broadcasts to all of Buncombe County. It is a tremendous resource for the community and a plethora of groovy shows have sprouted out of URTV.
The KC Waters Show, Mount Dungeon, Pleasure Saucer, The Wall Paper Project, The Mad Monk of Montford, The Matt Howard Show, Glo Lady TV, The Ellen B Show and The Global Report are among my personal faves.

Why did I start a blog anyway??

TO PROCRASTINATE.
If you have a lot of stuff that you want to avoid doing, I totally suggest that you start a blog. In this moment there are about 5 other things I could (should) be doing. But I don't want to. So here I am blogging.


This is the most recent episode of Art Seen Asheville which was produced June 2008 for URTV - the Public Access TV Station of Asheville which you can find on Charter Cable Channel 20 if you live in Buncombe County. Community media is great, and URTV is a tremendous resource to Asheville. Basically for $50/year you can use studio facilities, camera gear and editing gear that would normally cost thousands of dollars, AND produce a television show that will be aired to thousands of Buncombe County folk. For more information go to www.urtv.org

Here's the TRAILER to the show I posted up there.
